Strong Points

Beautiful Cinematography .This is an aspect most Nollywood films have improved on in the last four years and Sugar Rush doesn't fall short in that aspect. The production and Other aspects of the movie like sound , visual effects and lightning are all excellent .Lateef Adedimeji plays a brilliant role as comical destitute who strikes gold at the end of the movie . His interpretation of the role of a Lagos based Ibo man is excellent . Other notable performances include Uzor Arukwe as knight ( he had to change his voice to be very " igbotic', and he did exceedingly well especially the scene he came to ask for the money from the Susie Sisters ) , William Uchemba as Obum ,Tobi Bakre as Andy and Adesua Etomi as Susie Sugar . The movie explores the theme of corruption and power and no doubts , passed the message well of the corrupt nature of our security agencies ( EFCC in this instance ) and the power play evident in Nigerian politics .

Weak Points

The inclusion of juju and the Matrix styled " bullet stopping " display By BankyW at the tail end of the movie in my opinion is totally unnecessary . If you looking for a solid storyline and brilliant diialogue , Sugar rush is not for you , it's mainly a fun movie with a lot of giggles and laughs.. The casting could have been way way better . Bimbo Ademoye ( Bola Sugar) essentially overexxagerated her character , BankyW could have done better likewise Toke Makinwa. The three of them gave below par Performances. Besides , who deleted the video of The Susie Sisters from the Efcc guy's laptop ? �.

Final Verdict

For a movie in the comedy genre , Sugar Rush sure evokes laughter . Without much emphasis on dialogue and proper casting, ,Sugar rush takes the viewers on a fun ride with a sprinkle of politics, fiction and Crime . With an acceptable performance from the three major characters , Sugar Rushi is sure not a bad movie at all.
Score : 6.5/10 .

Pls is it available for download?and if yes,where apart from Netflix.

I am yet to see the movie — so let me just comment my reserve

I bet the Nigerian movie industry(Nollywood) has the capacity to dethrone the great Bollywood and Hollywood only if they will start acting Gospel/Christian Movies..........


Meanwhile How far Hush-Magu?

Wack and overhyped to say the least.My humble opinion

the film Wack

Uchemba wan kill me with laff

Okay... Though, I didn't read it

That Sugar Rush movie ehn, the graphic sweet pass the movie... They started the nonsense from where they wan go rob Anikulapo

If that movie returns to cinema 20 different times, it will sell. I've watched it like 6 times. You will laugh and fall off from the chair, besides that it's also full of lessons.

Nollywood has improved in recent times. I will definitely try and get this movie. The best of their movies I have seen in recent times is Living in Bondage: Breaking free and God Calling. I love those movies.

Very rubbish movie. I’ve never been so disappointed

Wow nice

Over hyped movie still ��

Loved it! It's really entertaining and fun. From Williams to Bimbo to Andy to Adesua, there was no dull moment.

A balanced review perhaps. Won't disagree. A movie has done enough, if you get one or two laughs from it. But Sugar Rush struggles to entertain you sometimes. It attacks common sense, and takes away your life or time in exchange for so little or rather, you come out worsened from the movie.

If you want something to help you brood, just go to the library and if you want something to help you laugh, just watch Mr Bean, or re-watch the dense and witless Jenifa's diary, that is how much the movie fails.

Certainly, there were some point in the movie, where if the whole movie were to be half that trajectory, it would have been a little great. Like the point where Tobi Bakre character ceases. The character of Bola Sugar however does a terrible disservice to that scene and other scenes she appears where the one or two laughs you may get from the movie, she steals it from you...her character is so exaggerated that it becomes unreasonable, and annoying. The same with Uchemba Williams character. Maybe they were both supposed to play dumb, but they were dumb at playing dumb.

The whole movie, introduces you to potential, and then disappoint you, that you feel it is better listening and watching Buhari than watching the movie or listening to the dialogue of the movie, if you keep the movie mute, you may be better off. If you have taste, and conscience, and you are earning salary, don't watch... use that money for weed or charity...however if you are as rich as Otedola, and you have a life as long as Methuselah, then you can watch the movie. If I pay you N10,000 just to make you watch this movie, I have cheated you. 3/10.

It's okay.

Tried watching it through fast forward but couldn't. I don't generally enjoy Nigerian movies

how person fit take join movie industry sef?
